***Is There not a Better Way?*** (a plain comment upon bureaucracy) (Mathieu) (6 pages)
I'll be honest-- outside of my champion B&W artist-hero Jaime (i.e. Mexican-American Jaime Hernandez), I really do love fine, water-colored comics. But then... dash-it-all, THEN I demand a nuanced, real-world storyline on top of that! I mean, how ungrateful can one get??
Which brings us to this little "JC Acquefacques" classic, which I really didn't like at first. Well, at least for me, I felt it strangling, Kafkaesque, horribly dated, annoying, and just plain irrelevant, TBH. But then... page after page... I started smirking, then giggling, then finally... my eyes just blazed with admiration. (is that a phrase? well now it is!)

YES, I know... not everyone's going to like this niche, meta series, which tends to express itself in rather 50-ish terms, but for those interested--
